Cisco.com password protection has been compromised

A message appearing on the Cisco Customer Connection (CCO) website this morning reads:

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Cisco has determined that Cisco.com password protection has been compromised.

As a precautionary measure, Cisco has reset your password. To receive your new password, send a blank e-mail, from the account which you entered upon registration, to cco-locksmith@cisco.com. Account details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you.

If you do not receive your new password within five minutes, please contact the Technical Support Center.

This incident does not appear to be due to a weakness in Cisco products or technologies.
